Zamia

Growing Conditions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates low light but grows slower.
- Soil: Needs well-draining, aerated soil—a mix of cocopeat, perlite, and compost works well.
- Watering: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

- Temperature: Ideal range is 18–30°C; protect from cold drafts.
Maintenance
- Pruning: Minimal pruning needed; remove yellowing leaves to maintain appearance.
- Propagation: Easily propagated via stem cuttings in water or soil.
- Support: Can climb moss poles or trail from hanging baskets, depending on styling preference.

- Cultivation:
- Prefers cool roots and warm air—often grown with chilled water circulation.
- Needs nutrient-poor, acidic soil like sphagnum moss and sand.
- Grown in bog gardens or terrariums with high humidity.
- Cultural Fascination:
